Atletico Madrid outplayed City
No KDB= no proper service to Haaland. The "first" team held Madrid in the first half but could not score.. Ake did not feature and Gomez seemed to offer in defence in the second half. I thought that Bobb did effectively nothing, always passing backwards instead of driving forward. I think he has been hyped. Madrid drove forward at pace on every opportunity, we did not. Foden was great. Phillips did nothing to convince me that he is an able deputy for Rodri. Where is his England and Leeds form? A bit too much time spent on the chat, which I can't read, making it rather disjointed.
Gundo and Mahrez >>> PEP
Adeyemi from dortmund would be great @ city
Txiki has to be sacked after this window. No depth, no Gvardiol, no winger, total failure.
Simmer down and save your moaning for the regular season. serious some of you all are unhinged already. this game meant nothing. no stakes. players are still finding their feet and gaining fitness. the team is giving like 65% effort. we made like 8 changes in the second half. this in no way resembled a regular season game. deep breath everyone
All i would love to see is a mahrez replacement preferably olise, and gvardiol as i think we seen how important defense is last season and i think with him it is literally impenetrable
Cancelo needs to go.
Watched all the pre season
games. I never read much into it.
Looing forward the Premier league
clash against Burnley
Rusty is no problem but if we want to remain an elite side, we will definitely need a world class or close to world class winger to compete for the right wing spot. That way, Foden can be an option for both LW and RW. We no longer have a better depth than rivals, in fact Arsenal and United will have better benches at this rate.
i don't like seeing Cancelo on our bench. Is it true he was trying to injure players at training trying to force a move before he left?
Atleticos played whole game without their 1st team 4 defenders.
Gimenez
Savic
Reinildo
Molina.
Not interested until we get to December and go on that 15 game winning run and win it all once more
We should not be letting Palmer go, looks like it is going to happen 🫠
Do you know what I'm encouraged by what I saw ok as a quality side it wasn't up to the standard we expect but many positives. As we all know incomings depend on departures. I also feel to a degree pep has been using pre season to see if academy players can deputise in the roles vacated by gundo and Mahrez. I do believe we need a winger and midfielder. But we must remember the board 9/10 get the decisions right and they have earned our trust. I'm excited for the season and can't wait to see the evolution of foden and how he is utilised in the midfield plus the evolution of Rico. Finally to conclude we must remember pep always evolves players and draws quality we wouldn't have seen. Pep is able to change and evolve his tactics mid season to compensate a need within the squad.
I think we have drop off
we should definitely just take the L and move on from Phillips. And to think we let go of Lavia just for this bloke to sit around injured. He contributes very little even when he's fully fit. Wasnt really a good fit to begin with!
How about Alvarez i could see him as a right winger . His scoring sense is better than bernardo . He is a gem that needs to be polished .
Phillips boots are too big. He just needs to find a smaller pair.
We just won the treble. We are the richest/ one of clubs in the world, we are not in the conversation for any profile attacking player and even if we sign Gvardiol it’s not a statement signing – something is very suspicious.
Is palmer injuried? He is willing to work his way into the box.
It was painstakingly boring. I'll be glad when we take out Arse(nal). We just didn't want to get anyone injured. Glad to see us when it counts. We need a right-winger get this bird flying!
Phillips is dreadful
Phillips looks a step behind on everything. he actually gives me the impression he is surprised when the ball gets passed to him
What i learned this preseason is that our depth is suspect. we could use some reinforcements from the transfer window.
Mahrez and Gundy double digit scorers that need replacing….
If Rodri is not playing we are screwed. Phillips is garbage and Rodri is gonna be knackered… #burnout fc
Lost 2 big game goal scorers…… Needs replacing
Come onnnn ….you cannot beat At Madrid with Grelish running around…and no KDB or Gundogan lets be clear
City needs just one thing. Quick,RW,goal scoring player. If they do, they should be ok. That’s so because, with KDB in the team, City is ok. But anytime he doesn’t play, City will struggle to create chances. Bernado and Grealish want ball to feet. No running in behind
Phillips is so far out of his depth he needs a life jacket, we don't fuck up many signings but we god we royally screwed up with this one
Grealish needs to add 8 – 9 goals and 3 – 5 assists to his game this season … can anyone honestly see him doing this? According to some numbers we are the highest earning club and we are making great business with the EDS players and now we sold Mahrez. Are you telling me we can’t spend a lot of money on a luxury player or 2 ?
I've watched all 3 games and I personally think we are OK.
In every game a lot of changes were made like todays game.
You take pre season with a tiny pinch of salt, it's more about fitness than winning the games.
For me it starts against Arsenal next week.
It was a friendly game City lose 1×2 .But i think City need a good C.midfielder like Gundo style.Maybe City have to sign player like Gabri Veiga.
Apart from our strikers and KdB no one can score and create. This is the problem of having wingers like Grealish.
Pre season is pre season we prob loose c shield also..then win league
Need to add some goals in that team, and a bit of depth. You can't replace someone as world-class as as Mahrez with an academy lad, we're Man City, otherwise we will be caught.
